Pet Obesity with Laura Nativo
To spread the message on National Pet Obesity Awareness Day, "The Fairy Dogmother"
Laura Nativo is tackling the issue of overweight dogs. If your dog is packing on the pounds, Laura suggests educating yourself on food labels, rewarding good behavior with fresh vegetables, and keeping your pooch active with regular exercise. For even more of a challenge, outfit your four-legged friend in a
K9FitVest with weights or a cooling pack. Just like in humans, obesity puts your pet at risk for heart disease, high blood pressure, diabetes, and cancer. So, revamp your animal's diet and fitness regime to extend those dog years even longer!
